It looks like spring has finally arrived. We’ve had great temperatures lately, though a fair amount of rain also. Still, it has allowed me to start to get into more of a mid-season practice and play routine.
I’m off to a decent start already, mostly because I was able to play somewhat regularly throughout the winter. Not as much as I would have preferred, but I wasn’t forced to put away my clubs for months.
That has given me [...]

My work with the one-plane swing continues and I’m very pleased with the results. My ball-striking has been steadily improving, especially with my long irons.
There are several parts of my swing that I need to “evolve” to get there fully. I find that it’s been the least painful to concentrate on one certain aspect of the one-plane swing at a time (while keeping the others in the back of my mind) so that I can properly ingrain each [...]

It’s a little unbelievable how mild this winter has been. Sure, we’ve had some cold spells, and it’s not exactly warm out. However, I was quite surprised that I’d see weather that was perfect to get in 9 holes yesterday.
I mentioned previously that I’m quite interested in Jim Hardy’s one-plane swing concept. I read his Plane Truth and Plane Truth Master Class books, concentrating mostly on the one-plane parts, so as to not get confused at the [...]

The winter gives me a lot of time to spend time catching up on golf (and other) books. On one hand, it’s nice to be able to find the time, but it’s a double-edged sword. Being an experimenter by nature, as I’m reading, I’m just dying to be able to get out to the range to try it all out.
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m currently captivated by Jim Hardy’s teachings on the one- and two-plane swings.
All I’ve been [...]
